In each new Moslem year, circulate in Nabeul of the sugar headstocks of which the use seems to go back to the pre-Islamic era. For better defining their origin and discovering the habits which perennialize them, a cultural anthropological step, puts at contribution, in addition to a famous historian, Moslems, Christians and Jews of Nabeul, craftsmen specialized in their clothes industry, as well as high characters of colors, such certain passers by of the famous souk to the sugar headstocks, like certain housewives with surprising knowledge... The sugar headstocks of Nabeul make us go up the history until Carthage and Néapolis and seem to prolong the spirit of the festival that the Pagan ones lived, Hebrew and the Christians, before investing Muslim New Year's day.
